I'm trying to understand the statement you made earlier...
I think he's saying that Jesus talked about "turning the other cheek", he was a total pacifist. If a Christian leader wanted to act like a true follower of Christ, he would act in the same way.
Do you think that Jesus was talking about all use of force or violence? Maybe there are a lot of Christian leaders being bitch slapped. If so, I agree... Jesus says turn your cheek and take another.
